CAPS United consolidated their top spot on the log after beating Mushowani Stars 2-0 in a Match-day 25 encounter played at Trojan Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Green Machine are now on 47 points, five clear of second-placed Chicken Inn.<\/p>\n
Kelvin Ndebele opened the scoring on minute 25, and the hosts could have levelled the terms a few moments later but were denied by the upright.<\/p>\n
Mushowani hit the woodwork again in the second half before CAPS United doubled the lead with six minutes left on the clock.<\/p>\n
The game ended 2-1 after a late consolation for the home team right on the stroke of fulltime.<\/p>\n
At Rufaro Stadium, Dynamos were held to a 1-1 draw by relegation-threatened Bulawayo Chiefs.<\/p>\n
The result sees the Glamour Boys registering their fourth consecutive draw.<\/p>\n
They started the game on a slow pace and were frustrated by Amakhosi who drew back in the opening minutes and relied on counter-attacks.<\/p>\n
Nothing big came up as the game progressed and both sides failed to create meaningful chances until the break.<\/p>\n
The deadlock was only broken a minute into the second half after Dembare captain Edward Sadomba who was returning from an injury tapped in Godknows Murwira\u2019s cross.<\/p>\n
However, the lead short-lived as substitute Farawu Matere restored parity for Chiefs ten minutes later after connecting Lucky Ndlela\u2019s corner-kick.<\/p>\n
The visitors followed up with some efforts from Arthur Musiyiwa and Chikosi but they both failed to bring any trouble to goalkeeper Simba Chinani.<\/p>\n
Dynamos forward Ngadu Mangala also had his chance but was denied by the post from an acute angle.<\/p>\n
The match ended in a 1-1 stalemate.<\/p>\n
Across the city at National Sports Stadium, Herentals scored late to squeeze a point against Highlanders.<\/p>\n
The game produced three penalties as the Students played out to a 1-1 draw with the Bulawayo giants who took the lead in the 17th minute.<\/p>\n
Prince Dube secured the advantage after converting from the spot.<\/p>\n
The home team had wasted a chance to go in front two minutes before after Richard Hachiro\u2019s penalty was saved by Ariel Sibanda at the other end.<\/p>\n
Another spot-kick was awarded to Herentals in the 88th minute and this time they scored through substitute Blessing Majarira.<\/p>\n
